Offshore wind power and new flagship projects
The Iberdrola group reaffirms its commitment to onshore wind energy in Brazil with the construction of a new flagship project.
The Paraíba complex, which will start operating between 2022 and 2023, will be located near the city of Santa Luzia, in one of the windiest areas in America. This large renewable facility will comprise a total of 18 wind farms, three of which are already operating — Canoas, Lagoa I and Lagoa II — and another 15 are in different stages of development. At the meeting, the head of the state executive presented the economic potential of Paraíba and the state's capacity to generate renewable energy.
“We have one of the best rates solarimetric in Brazil, a large wind energy generation capacity and we already have parks being implemented in the State, in addition to investments in transmission lines”, he reports.
The governor enriched with details about the Cabo Branco Tourist Hub projects, tourist activities and even resorts are under development. “Paraíba's doors are open to receive new investments and we are ready to contribute in the best way possible”, said Governor João Azevedo.
